The Human Security Report provides links to three new stories on the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo:
AllAfrica.com reports that the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda, a group that includes remnants of the masterminds of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, has intensified its attacks on the Congolese army in several parts in the east of the country.
The International Committee of the Red Cross reports that, since May, there has been a deterioration in security conditions and in the humanitarian situation of thousands of civilians in the North Kivu and South Kivu provinces, in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Numerous crimes against noncombatants, including rapes, murders, and the looting and destruction of homes, which are forcing tens of thousands of people to flee, continue to be reported.
The International Crisis Group offers a comprehensive strategy to disarm the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda. The report itself is in French, however the executive summary is available in English.
